Collecting Tentacool

Tentacool is a two-stage line, so its binder footprint is compact: 16 cards, 14 sets, evolving straight into Tentacruel with no middle stage to track down. The most expensive card is a 2002 Legendary Collection Common, and the pool stays affordable overall with only two cards over $20. Sugimori and Himeno lead the credited artists on a pool that's been building since 1999's Fossil set.

Collect & display your Tentacool cards
